Grass Tiomos FL - 160 Deg., Self-Close, 1/4 Overlay - Single Door Kit

Grass Tiomos Frameless 160° Self-Close Hinge - 1/4 in. Overlay - Single Door Kit

Frameless (Euro Style) Cabinet Application

The Grass Tiomos Frameless 160° Self-Close Hinge Kit is designed for full-access, European-style cabinets that use a 1/4 in. door overlay. This single-door hinge kit combines the precision engineering of the Tiomos hinge system with a self-closing mechanism for smooth, reliable cabinet door operation.

Frameless cabinets have no face frame, allowing cabinet doors and drawers to attach directly to the cabinet box. This construction provides a clean, contemporary appearance while maximizing usable storage space and cabinet access.

Benefits of Frameless European-Style Cabinets

• Full-access cabinet design: Frameless cabinets eliminate the face frame, allowing doors and drawers to mount directly to the cabinet box.
• Maximized cabinet access: Without a face frame or center stile, frameless construction provides wider openings for easier access to cabinet interiors.
• Increased storage capacity: Full-access frameless cabinets can provide approximately 15% more usable storage space than comparable framed cabinets.
• Clean, modern appearance: The flush cabinet-box construction creates a streamlined look that is popular in contemporary European-style cabinetry.

Grass Tiomos 160° Hinge Technology

Tiomos is an innovative cabinet hinge concept engineered for smooth movement, precise adjustment, and reliable cabinet door performance. Its advanced internal kinematics are concealed within the hinge, delivering controlled movement while allowing cabinet doors to open up to 160 degrees.

The Grass Tiomos 160° self-close hinge is engineered to make cabinet doors easy to open and provides controlled closing action. The sophisticated hinge mechanism also allows installers and cabinetmakers to achieve precise door alignment with exceptionally small and consistent gaps.

Kinematics Built Into Tiomos Hinges

• Advanced internal mechanism: The complex kinematics are concealed within the hinge while working together to provide smooth, controlled cabinet door movement.
• Easy door operation: Tiomos kinematics are designed to make cabinet doors extremely easy to open while providing dependable closing performance.
• Precise cabinet door alignment: The hinge system makes it possible to achieve very small, consistent door gaps for a professional cabinet installation.
• 160-degree opening: The wide-angle hinge design provides expanded cabinet access compared with conventional hinges.

Three-Dimensional Hinge Adjustment

The Grass Tiomos hinge system provides three-dimensional adjustment, allowing installers to fine-tune cabinet doors after installation for precise alignment.

• Depth adjustment: +3/-2mm — A continuous, self-locking worm-gear adjustment is built into the hinge for precise in-and-out door positioning.
• Side adjustment: ±2mm — Lateral adjustment is integrated into the hinge arm to help maintain consistent door gaps.
• Height adjustment: ±2mm — The mounting plate included with this kit provides height adjustment through its integrated worm gear.

1/4 in. Door Overlay Configuration

This Grass Tiomos hinge kit is configured to provide a 1/4 in. overlay when used with the specified hinge and mounting plate combination. Actual overlay is determined by the relationship between the hinge type, mounting plate height, and cup-hole distance.

This kit is based on a cup-hole distance between 4 and 6mm (5/32 in. to 15/64 in.). If your cabinet door has a cup-hole distance outside this range, contact McFeely's Technical Support for assistance selecting the correct Grass Tiomos hinge and mounting plate combination.

Cabinet Door Thickness

The Grass Tiomos 160° Self-Close Hinge Kit is suitable for cabinet doors up to 24mm (approximately 15/16 in.) thick. For doors thicker than 24mm, contact McFeely's Technical Support for help selecting the appropriate hinge components.

Self-Close Hinge for Frameless Cabinets

The self-close function provides dependable cabinet door closing action, making this Grass Tiomos hinge kit an excellent choice for kitchens, bathrooms, furniture, storage cabinets, and other frameless cabinetry applications. The 160-degree opening angle provides greater access to the cabinet interior, while the three-way adjustment system simplifies final door alignment.

Recommended Hinge Combination

For most cabinet doors, a combination of one soft-close hinge and one self-close hinge provides an optimal closing rate. Heavier cabinet doors should use two soft-close hinges for improved control and closing performance.

Cup-Hole Distance

Cup-hole distance is the measurement from the edge of the cabinet door to the closest edge of the hinge cup hole. Proper cup-hole distance is important when selecting the correct hinge and mounting plate combination and achieving the desired door overlay.
